Hawks players want Bobby back

[Rat]

Brooks isn't as good as the tackle numbers would seem to indicate to some, for sure. But it's a bit of an exaggeration to call him "trash," isn't it?

Nope. "Trash" is an incredibly apt description for his extraordinarily high level of suckitude.

Come on man. No need to flex your internet muscles. Brooks is not even close to trash. Geezus man.

140 tackles, 6 sacks, played in all 17 games. Far from washed up. And Brooks is NOT trash, not even close.

Brooks is another reason I'd love to see Bobby back. When they played together, Brooks played with more confidence and performed at a higher level because of that.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolutely. Like any good tandem in the league, those two worked solid together.

Jordyn "Trash" Brooks was only marginally better than Barton, who was an otherworldly level of suck. Marginally better than "otherworldly level of suck" is well inside the "trash" platform.

No shame admitting that the succession plan from Wagz was horribly botched. Hopefully a replacement is coming in the near future.

This is where Bobby acting as his own agent might be a detriment to a return to Seattle.

He doesn't have an agent telling him that his value is nowhere near what it was last year, and that he needs to be more realistic this off season.

My guess that's the holdup on Bobby signing anywhere right now, he still thinks he's worth 10+M a year, and again he doesn't have that realistic middle person/agent to talk sense into him.

Probably where Pete and John's "we had a very candid conversation with Bobby" comments came from. They do want him back, but nowhere near his price.

There's a difference playing behind Aaron Donald too. BWagz had good results last year. Had he been playing behind the Seahawk's '22 DLine, he'd have looked much different. Sacks would be 0. Tackle numbers would be high, but very few for loss. I'm just saying that a MLB doesn't play in a vacuum.

Of course he'd add some beneficial pieces to the Seahawks D. He also could bring some baggage. So, as we all already know, it's down to money and motivation. On both of those subjects we're all just speculating.

If I were BWagz, I'd wait until week 3 or 4 to see who really has a contender. Then go cheap. ...like Suh has done a few times.

Bobby's probably 70% of the player he used to be, but that's 100% better than anything else we have on the roster right now.

So my guess is we and he are waiting until after the rest of free agency and the draft to see exactly how desperate we are to move closer to his number for a one year deal to plug in the MLB spot.

I would rather take KJ all day than Bobby.

I always believed Wagner was terrible in pass D.

10 Days til Baseball Season!

Here's an idea... get those players wanting him back to convince Bobby to take the vet minimum salary. That would work for me. lol

Or, hey - they could all chip in!

Brady style. That's right baby!

Let's pass the hat!

I want him back too - for a season - very similar to what soul said. A bridge - and I've said it before him and Bruce - and a couple stud LB from the draft - they can show them the ropes for a year.

I don't like the person that's quoted, but I like the quote: "Don't tell me your values. Show me your budget, and I tell you what your values are."

Well KJ ain't lobbying for himself to come back, he's recruiting bobby

And, to your second point. Um, yea, fortunately the runD was a pit from hell last year - so the fact that bwags is terrible in pass D - meh. Let him do his thing on the Run game - that's what we need! In the 3-4 he's got a clone! Let the clone run pass D!

 

[scutterhawk]

If brooks was worth keeping around we wouldn’t have had a bottom 3 run defense. Couldn’t stop the run even when we knew it was a run play. Brooks is literally the definition of meh. Anytime your D can’t get off the field your linebackers are gonna rack up the tackles

That's true, I mean Bobby's last year with the Seahawks? he was still rackin' up the tackles to beat hell, so, does that mean that the big buck$ that he was being paid and the Defense to STILL NOT get the hell off the field justify pouring MORE money into keeping him on the roster?
A Fan favorite for sure, but a luxury player that didn't quite justify keeping him around, elsewise Pete would have insisted on John to find a way to Keep him here, yes?, no?

BULLSHIT!^^

Unfortunately, some of us made the regrettable decision to become a Marlins fan when we were kids. I'm sure Mariners fans are looking much more forward to this season than I am.

 

[SNDavidson]

It’s incredibly hard being the guy who follows THE guy. Brooks is by no means trash - he just isn’t Bobby.

I Feel like he COULD be KJ if he develops on the outside, draft that big old mlb and sign bob wagner, lets go

Bobby has changed his Twitter profile picture away from the seattle sunset to a pair of dice.

Vegas. From Ontario and played college ball in Utah. He’s a west coast dude. Las Vegas is where KJ ended it too. We shall see.
